In a 2021 review, a customer with a large 3-tiered deck that had never been treated said Ricardo of Expect Painters squeezed them in, power washed the deck and the back of the house, and stained the whole deck. That 2021 customer said he washed the deck one day and stained it another day. A 2025 customer on Angi said Recardo gave an honest estimate and a timeframe for staining a back deck, side stairs and a shed, and that all work was done during the estimated timeframe. That 2025 customer said everything was powerwashed on day one and the staining was done over the next two days. In a 2023 review, a customer said Ricardo painted 2 rooms and the hallway, including the high pitch above the stairs. A 2023 Google customer said the owner took his time to figure out the best advice for their needs and noticed things other companies hadn't when they came to quote. In a 2021 review, a customer said Ricardo and his team plastered and painted a bathroom and a basement ceiling after a water leak was repaired. A 2018 customer said Ricardo and his crew fixed, scraped and sprayed a fence and left everything spotless. A 2018 customer said Ricardo painted their decks and also did epoxy paint in a garage and basement. Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.9 stars from 77 ratings. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration number 160059, registered to RICARDO JUSTO, is expired on the state registry. In a 2020 review, a customer said the wrong sand was first used on a brick patio; they came back the next day, redid the job with the customer's supply of the correct sand, and it came out fine then.
Needed to have my back deck and side stairs stained along with a shed. Recardo came and gave an honest estimate and a timeframe. All work was done during the estimated timeframe and well done. Everything was powerwashed on day one. Staining was done over the next two days and on a weekend as well. I highly recommend using this company for any painting service needed.
High quality service !
I got a very reasonable quote from expert painters. The owner really took his time to figure out the best advice and solutions for my specific needs. I didn’t feel rushed or over quoted and he noticed things that other companies hadn’t noticed when they came to quote me. Would definitely recommend them!
Great service, hard working contractor, punctual, and the paint job came out amazing!
Amazing Service! Very professional.

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Expect Painters. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
